Tap Dancing in the Wild West

One of the great things about living in a small town is that anybody can do anything. Three years ago, I took up tap dancing. This past weekend was our big show, and you can see from the curtain call picture that everybody was there! I think the cast was at least 130 kids to adults. Of course, all of their parents, relatives, and everybody in the community came out for the big show. It was a blast. It's always fun to surprise people I work with with my hidden talents!

Our theme was "Who's really who in the wild west?" and it followed two clueless folks who were wrongly accused of crimes. I played one of the "gold diggers" in the show, and did a tap dancing number to a great Bob Fosse tune from Chicago (Hot Honey Rag). It was a great challenge, and great fun.
